Please bear in mind that this car has been built to show people what we as a company are able to offer in the way of modifications
We have not removed any of the comforts but mearly tried to enhance an already good package. we have done everything from chassis to engine, and we have not yet finished... I will do a full write up on the car and costs envolved in another thread when she is built.
Plus I wanted a very quick road car to take to the tuner grand prix :D

Just noticed today the M3 CSL has a much smaller battery. Tin's cat's liver must have knocked a few grams off the M5 ;)

On average I think most of us could easily see 2K, alloys,tyres, suspension, ICE. Have you guys calculated labour costs with your mods ...... :eek: scary!!
Tin... 4 figures??? I'd add one more onto that one! LOL ;)
I'd say modding seriously isn't about what you've spent... its all about the excitement and the personal feel you get from it...
You could spend a tenner on a set of silver vision bulbs or ten thousand on some performance mods (Tin... ;) ) and get the same smile on your face...
Long live modding! :D :D
At a horrible guess approx £19k, I'm gonna go and sit down now as suddenly I don't feel so good....

I've got just over £7500 worth of audio equipment waiting to go in, however, I've had my fun with it in my previous car, and I could get round to selling it and spending the cash towards new wheels, coilover suspension, Eisenmann exhaust, CA-A exhaust manifold and other mods, :)
